City manager placed on leave
Dublin City Manager Jerry Guillory Monday was placed on a two-week paid administrative leave and escorted out of City Hall following a 3-hour closed council session.
The Council appointed a 3-person committee – along with Mayor Becky Norris (Aaron Carney, Aaron Locke & Tommy Sperry) – to investigate employee relations and to help determine if the council “can have a working relationship” with him. Norris said the committee will be talking with employees to determined their relationship with Guillory. Norris also noted it is to be determined if Guillory and the council have the same goals.

Heroes come in all sizes
Heroes are a dime a dozen in the cinema, but the real heroes are everyday people like us. They are our neighbors, our friends, our parents and even our sons and daughters.
And there’s one daughter who has been recognized as an official hero – a 10-year-old-daughter. She has been officially dubbed a 9-1-1 hero and she had a medal and a t-shirt that shows she is a hero.

Stadium may be closed to public
For the third time in recent months, property was damaged at the Dublin Memorial Stadium causing Dublin ISD to consider closing the stadium to the public outside of school events.
On May 12, Dublin PD received a call that two youths had broken into the press box at the stadium and were messing around with the technical equipment. Officer Bennie Noel reported that the PD found two boys there when they responded as well as damage to the windows and that someone had defecated in the corner. The boys present admitted that they were there and advised that a third youth had been in the box the day before.

New faces to serve on local boards
Elections were held Saturday in Dublin and few people seemed to care.
For the city, only 15.48% - 258 – turned out to vote with votes scattered over four wards. Voters expressed confusion over what ward they are in.
For the school board, there was even a lower turnout as only 13.8% - 443 – voted in a race that featured seven candidates for three, three-year terms.

Turning Back The Pages
75 YEARS AGO
May 17, 1912
Edward W. Keith of the firm of Keith Bros. at Stephenville was run over and instantly killed by a Frisco passenger train at Harbin, four miles out of Dublin about the hour of 3 o’clock Tuesday morning May 14, 1912.
J.D. Crow of near Highland suffered a double fracture of his left leg Wednesday afternoon. Mr. Crow had gone out to his pasture to get his horse, tied a rope around the neck of the animal and placed a noose over his nose. He was riding the animal to the house, the noose slipped off and the horse endeavored to run and in getting off of the horse, Mr. Crow fell, breaking both bones of his leg below the knee.
